The upcoming GATE Season 2: Tides of Conflict (GATE Season 2: Jieitai Ka no Umi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri) anime has received a teaser visual, featuring the characters Hajime Tokushima and Primera Luna Avion.
The anime was announced in July. The first season premiered in 2015 and ran for two split cours.
GATE is based on the Alphapolis-published light novel series by Takumi Yanai, which started in 2010 and started “Season 2” in 2017. Alphapolis also publishes the manga adaptation, which it describes as:
On a certain summer day in the year 20XX, in broad daylight a gate to another world appears in Ginza, Tokyo. An army and a swarm of monsters come storming through the gate. The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force is able to defeat the invaders and they head through the gate into uncharted lands. An epic fantasy about a battle between the human race and another world filled with dangerous enemies and beasts!
GATE Season 2 takes place several years after the gate’s appearance and follows Petty Officer 2nd Class Hajime Tokushima of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). During his submarine’s mission to rescue an American journalist in the other world, the crew crosses paths with “Princess Primera Luna Avion of Tinae, Shura no Arch, a descendant of a family of righteous pirates, and Odette Ze Nebula, an Avi maiden who serves as Ship Guardian.”
The first season of the anime was an A-1 Pictures production directed by Takahiko Kyogoku.
